Chapter 516: Chapter 171 The Reappearance of the Thorn Insect Race_3

Also, the designs for several chips and spherical objects are included within.

Chen Ming immediately associated them with the two special items on the Mechanical Race he just controlled.

The Core Chip and Sub-Core.

These numerous and exceedingly complex blueprints must be used to manufacture these two things.

Although Chen Ming didn’t think that making the Mechanical Race was as simple as preparing materials and crafting the exterior.

But some things must be tried out anyway.

After trying, only then would he know what he would be lacking.

The only valuable items in the entire tower were these.

Chen Ming rummaged through several times but found nothing particularly noteworthy, mostly damaged items that would be meaningless even if repaired.

The only significance was to dismantle them to obtain materials.

But Chen Ming felt it wasn’t necessary.

Obtaining these blueprints and retreating safely was the best outcome for this venture.

Chen Ming planned to end it here and leave straight away.

After all, the Mechanical Race’s city was right here; he could return anytime as long as he wasn’t too far away.

Chen Ming’s robot quickly left the tower with the worker bee he had just controlled.

The way out was much easier than getting in.

Although Chen Ming couldn’t control the Mechanical Race, the tower still controlled various city facilities.

Chen Ming could choose those areas still under tower control to leave the city boldly.

Accompanied by two Mechanical Race units, Chen Ming’s robot smoothly arrived at the spot on the city’s outskirts where it had initially entered.

Planning to return to the landing craft via the original route.

As soon as Chen Ming’s robot set foot outside the city limits.

The ground suddenly began to tremble.

”An earthquake?”

Chen Ming’s instinctive question immediately made him realize something was amiss.

Because based on the Supreme Point’s survey of the planet earlier, this region was not at the continental plate boundary.

Another civilization, no matter how foolish, could not have chosen a plate boundary on such a large planet to build a city.

This sudden earthquake was definitely not a natural phenomenon, but something moving underground.

Chen Ming immediately had the Supreme Point adjust the detection frequency.

Locking the frequency onto the underground.

Despite the atmospheric interference preventing in-depth detection from outside the atmosphere.

It was sufficient now.

The Supreme Point almost instantaneously discovered a large cluster of biological responses not far underground from Chen Ming’s robot.

These entities were rapidly tunneling toward the Mechanical Race’s city.

Seeing the familiar forms in the scan array results.

Chen Ming finally couldn’t hold back and said, ”Thorn Insect Race?”

”No, I can’t conclude like this.”

Suppressing his instinctive thoughts, Chen Ming remained calm and had his robot retreat into the city with the two Mechanical Race units.

It wasn’t long before the insects that caused the ground tremors broke through the surface at the city’s edge.

Their grotesque, spiky heads extended antennae, wildly sniffing the air.

Almost instantly locking on to Chen Ming’s robot that had re-entered the city.

In that moment, Chen Ming felt as if these insects were targeting him.

The insects waved their limbs and charged through gaps in the defenses into the city.

At that moment, it seemed as if they triggered some defensive mechanism.

Every dormant Mechanical Race unit within Chen Ming’s tower view reactivated instantly.

Each did their duty, returning to their posts, while most combat-capable Mechanical Race units converged here.

Chen Ming had no time to react before a large-scale battle broke out between the Thorn Insect Race and Mechanical Race.

Ironically, Chen Ming’s robot, which seemed to have triggered everything, became an outsider in the chaos.

Amidst the chaos, Chen Ming had his robot find a safe spot to cover the surveillance blindspots of the areas within the tower he had lost control over, transmitting back battlefield footage.

After disengaging from the battlefield, Chen Ming immediately noticed that beneath the massive pit those insects had dug, there were many more emerging creatures he found all too familiar.

The Bubble Insects, with large bubble-like glands storing acid on their necks, supported by powerful neck muscles.

Chen Ming had a very deep impression of this insect type.

Because back during the Space Station incident, despite the abundance of Insect Race, most were merely melee individuals, specifically Striding Insects.

Chen Ming deduced these insects were likely foundational individuals of the Thorn Insect Race, so even seeing them now, he could not fully determine they were the same ones from the Space Station.

Assuming they were another batch of Thorn Insect Race from the universe.

But these Bubble Insects were different.

Chen Ming remembered very clearly that these Bubble Insects had evolved within merely two days after he utilized the long-range weaponry of the spaceship to attack them.

Even if other places also had Thorn Insect Race evolving long-range attack capabilities.

Could such evolution be identical?

Chen Ming was one hundred percent certain these insects appearing here were indeed the ones from the Space Station.

What on earth were these Thorn Insect Race creatures? What was happening here?
